Most products tankers can switch

between clean and dirty products

when the tanks are carefully cleaned.

Gasoil is a good clean up cargo when

switching from dirty to clean products

More sophisticated product tankers

work at this end of the market, some

with the ability to carry products and

certain chemicals

Crude tankers carry only crude oil and

fuel oils

Non-oil substances now covered by

revised IBC Code. To carry chemicals,

an IMO Certificate of Fitness is

required

MR2 PRODUCT TANKER MARKET UPDATE SUMMARY

Stabilizing chartering market

► Spot rates have substantially declined since peak of Fall, 2015

► One year time charter rates down to ~$12,000/d since beginning of year, well below

last 10 year high of ~ $26,800/d

► Major reasons: higher inventories of refined products worldwide, lack of arbitrage

opportunities and new tonnage additions

► Charter rates just started to rebound due to seasonal factors in northern hemisphere

– demand for heating oil and possible port delays

► Fundamental long-term demand growth of 3-4%/yr. led by increasing consumption

of refined products and ton-mile expansion from changing refinery landscape

Declining newbuild order book

► MR2 order book – lowest level in 20+ years; substantially delivered by the end of 2017

► No material new ordering of product tankers; numerous problems facing shipyards

► Access to capital continues to be very challenging; difficulties continue for mixed

fleet owners

Historically low MR2 asset values create attractive entry point ($ millions):

EXHIBIT I | NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

EBITDA represents the sum of net income, interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization, and, if any, interest taxes

during a period. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is presented as we believe that it provides

investors with a means of evaluating and understanding how our management evaluates operating performance. This non-

GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in

accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure does not have a standardized meaning, and is therefore,

unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Daily time charter equivalent (“TCE”) is a standard shipping industry performance measure of the average daily revenue

performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We utilize TCE because

we believe it is a meaningful measure to compare period-to-period changes in our performance despite changes in the mix

of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which our vessels may be employed between

the periods. Our management also utilizes TCE to assist them in making decisions regarding employment of the vessels. We

believe that our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing voyage

revenues after deducting voyage expenses, including commissions by operating days for the relevant period. Voyage

expenses primarily consist of brokerage commissions, port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which

would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract.

Vessel operating expenses per day (“Opex”) are our vessel operating expenses for a vessel, which consist primarily of crew

wages and related costs, insurance, lube oils, communications, spares and consumables, tonnage taxes as well as repairs

and maintenance, divided by the ownership days in the applicable period.

We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days

during the same period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable

employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled

repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings or vessel positioning.

Operating days are the number of available days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-

hire or out of service due to any reason, including technical breakdowns and unforeseen circumstances. Available days are

the number of ownership days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire due to scheduled

repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings and the aggregate

number of days that we spent positioning our vessels during the respective period for such repairs, upgrades and surveys.

Ownership days are the total number of days in a period during which we owned each of the vessels in our fleet.
